#4: Income Vs. Expenses
This one hits on a very good point: you can only shrink your expenses so far, especially if you’re already on a limited income, so if you’re trying to save money, advice about spending less money on food and rent, though useful, can only take you so far. At some point, you have to start earning more money.
So for people who are concerned about ways to help lift people out of poverty, maybe we should be thinking more about the wages that people in poverty earn and ways that can be improved.
